THISTLE'S EASY WIN

Thistle and Institute played at Seatoun before a fair number of spectators. A fast game resulted, Thistle proving to be much superior to their opponents and winning by 4 goals to 2. The teams were as follows: — Thistle: Kirkland, Jack, Montgomery, M'Lennan, Hanlon, Wheelan, Smith, Campbell, Lothian, Cunningham', Honeyman. Institute: Tarrant, Gill, Coronna, Biug, Brownlie, Eusterholtz, Bilby, Aladdox, Dickenson, May, Smith. During the first few moments of thegame Institute looked dangerous, but thereafter and for the remainder of the first spell they faded away. Thistle played a first-rate game and, showing splendid combination, ran rings round Institute. Lothian was responsible for Thistle's first goal, as he was for the second, a fine screw shot from an awkward angle that left Tarrant, the Institute goalkeeper, guessing. Smith added the third goal by a hot shot. Just at the cud oi the first spell Institute was momentarily aggressive, but without material result, the half-time whistle sounding with Thistle leading by three goals to nil. The second spell started with Thistle pressing . vigorously, Cunningham adding the fourth • goal by heading the ball through in great style. For a spell play was more even and Institute at times became dangerous. Dickenson ■encouraged Institute's supporters by scoring with a good shot in the corner. May almost immediately afterwards scoring number two. This success put more life into Institute's play, and Thistle had to battle to retain the upper hand. However,, a fast and interesting game finished without further score, leaving Thistle winners with four goals to Institute's two. Mr. B. Martin-was referee.
